1. Cytology and fertility of the hybrid Alopecurus pratensis L. X A. aequalis Sobol, and its progeny

Author:

Subject:
Alopecurus pratensis; progeny; hybrids; cell biology
Abstract:
... Hybrids between Alopecurus pratensis L. (2n = 28) and A. aequalis Sobol. (2n = 14) were obtained with difficulty. In meiosis the F1 plants formed seven bivalents and seven univalents, proving at least partial homology between two of the three genoms involved. The F1 plants were highly sterile, but some progeny were obtained after open pollinating. One pentaploid plant, probably arising through a f ...

Abstract:
... Reports of hypomagnesaemia, a Mg deficiency in ruminants, occur most frequently when livestock graze the spring growth of grass pastures. To minimize these animal losses it is important to know whether differences exist among forage grasses for potential risk of Mg deficiency in ruminant livestock. The objectives of this study were 1) to determine if several cool-season forage grasses accumulate K ...

The grasses were grazed on seven occasions between September 1974 and November 1975 by ponies, Thoroughbreds and hunters. There were significant differences (P < 0.001) between the palatahHity of the grasses, the most palatable being creeping red fescue (Festuea rubra) and tall fesc ...

Abstract:
... Sod-seeding establishment of small-seeded legumes and grasses has great potential for increasing forage production on previously non-tillable lands. However, consistently successful stand establishment has been difficult to achieve via sod-seeding. Even when adequate stands are obtained, they often lack the vigor associated with conventional establishment. A delay between the spraying of a non-sel ...

Among wind-pollinated plants, larger reproductive structures appear counter-adapted to accumulate pollen by impaction on their windward surfaces, because airborne particles are less able to penetrate the thicker boundary layer of larger targets. Therefore, it ...

Abstract:
... Semi‐natural temperate grasslands in Europe make an important contribution to biodiversity, but their existence has been endangered by both agricultural intensification and abandonment. In the Czech Republic, Arrhenatherion meadows are a typical example, with their conservation made difficult by the scarcity of research on effective management practices. We examined effects of two potentially us ...

Abstract:
... The European rusted flea beetle Neocrepidodera ferruginea (Scopoli, 1763) is reported for the first time from Québec and Ontario, Canada. It was likely introduced into southern Ontario at an international port on the Great Lakes in early 1970s, or possibly earlier in the 1960s. However, the exact location and date of introduction could not be precisely determined. The flea beetle has since dispers ...

Abstract:
... Diet composition of free-roaming animals has been persistently difficult to quantify. Fecal DNA (fDNA) metabarcoding is an emerging novel technology to reconstruct botanical composition of diets. Validation studies comparing fDNA metabarcodion to fed diets are lacking. A blind 6-week feeding study using 5 heifers (416–527 kg) fed different diets weekly with fecal samples collected from individuals ...

Abstract:
... Drought stress is one of the major stressors for plants under climate change, depressing growth through inhibition of photosynthesis and causing oxidative cell damage. It has been shown that plants can form a drought stress memory, improving their performance under recurring drought stress after they have been primed by drought before. Mechanisms underlying such a drought stress memory and possibl ...

Abstract:
... High-throughput sequencing technologies were used to identify plant viruses in cereal samples surveyed from 2012 to 2017. Fifteen genome sequences of a tenuivirus infecting wheat, oats, and spelt in Estonia, Norway, and Sweden were identified and characterized by their distances to other tenuivirus sequences. Like most tenuiviruses, the genome of this tenuivirus contains four genomic segments. The ...

Abstract:
... AIM: We assessed the role of mowing machinery and endozoochory by migratory sheep as dispersal vectors in semi‐natural grasslands by comparing the species compositions and traits of species found in the vectors to the regional above‐ground vegetation and soil seed bank. Furthermore, we discuss how their interplay may affect the conservation of semi‐natural grasslands. LOCATION: Rhön Mountains, cen ...

Abstract:
... Green remediation of soils highly contaminated with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) can be achieved using suitable plants. Such phytoremediation procedure often takes into consideration PTE concentrations in plants only, but not produced biomass. Phytoremediation potential of certain species of wild plants for PTEs in contaminated floodplain soils has not been assessed yet. Therefore, in this wo ...
